welcome to "cbs this morning." after tornado hammered the region for more than 24 hours. a line of powerful storms formed in the southern plains on tuesday brings tornadoes to seven states. at least 20 tornadoes were reported through last night. they are blamed for at least 12 deaths and hundreds of injuries. those storms are now moving through the deep south. elaine quijano begins our coverage. she's outside hard hit crossville, tennessee. elaine, good morning. >> good morning to you, erica and charlie. it was a devastating day. after the storms rolled through missouri and illinois, they hit this area very hard, very quickly and they were deadly. here in tennessee, at least three people were killed. officials say. including two down the road from where we are in a community called rinney. the damage is so extensive,

they're only allowing residents and emergency personnel into those neighborhoods. authorities say some 50 homes were damaged there, at least destroyed. there are also reports that some storm victims even had to be pulled from the wreckage. since the storms hit just before dark yesterday, officials are hoping to get a better assessment of the damage one the sun comes up a little bit more here later this morning. but as you can see behind me, the winds yesterday were so powerful, they were able to rip apart this structure here and later today, officials from the national weather service are expected to arrive here to determine if in fact this was a tornado and if so, just how powerful a tornado it was. erica and charlie sm. >> elaine, thank you. forecasters say yesterday's biggest twister was an ef 4. that's the second most powerful type of tornado. it flattened much of the town of harrisburg, illinois. national correspondent dean reynolds is there this morning for us. dean, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, erica. the headline in the local paper

says it all. we will rebuild. here in harrisburg and across the midwest, communities are doing damage assessments today. a little more than it 24 hours after a series of violent storms ripped across the region. now, the hard part starts. the scope of the cleanup needed in harrisburg can be grasped only from the air. down below are some of the 300 homes and businesses damaged by the 170 mile an hour twister. >> the sirens went off and all the windows just, everything come through like my house inhaled and just let it out. >> tami risley feels lucky. >> did you feel like you cheated death? >> pretty, yeah. guardian angel watching over me. >> she just moved into her house on mckinley avenue. >> i don't know. don't know where to start. don't know where to go. >> a few went to the red cross shelter. >> we had to come somewhere

where we could have a decent meal for a day or two. >> we caught up with 15-year-old alex taylor amid boxes and boxes of donated goods. >> it's amazing that as many people in our neighborhood lived with all the damage around. >> governor pat quinn declared the town and surrounding counties a disaster area. >> amazing how businesses and families, their homes are intact and across the street it's obliterated. >> a collision between cold rocky mountain air and warm wet midwestern weather spawned the tornadoes that stretched for hundreds of miles. >> it was just due wres now. >> this is what one look down as it bore down on the kansas plains. >> in harveyville, gemma collins house collapsed around here. >> all of the stuff in here and on there was on top of me. i was inside that bathtub. i swear we were going to die. all i could do was pray. >> country music mecca branson,

missouri was not spared. some of the theaters were damaged. a lot of businesses will be down and it's heart wrench chg. >> utility crews were out overnight attempting to restore power. the first step toward recovery. already damage estimates are in the tens of millions of dollars. and the tornado season has only just begun. >> dean, thank you. as dean pointed out, the dangerous storms are not over. lonnie quinn of "cbs this morning" saturday is here with us this morning to show us where the violent weather is headed next. >> good morning, erica and good morning everyone. i want to just recap and show you how big this area was affected yesterday. nebraska to kansas, missouri, illinois, tennessee, kentucky, indiana. two days, 27 confirmed tornadoes. so with so many people on edge, i think the big question is, does it happen again today? the answer there is highly, highly unlikely for today. i think this entire area shaded in yellow, memphis, st. louis,

indianapolis, you'll see strong thunderstorms. tornadoes not going to happen because this warm gulf air has to push further to the north and clash with some colder air. that happens tomorrow. national weather service and the storm prediction center is saying tomorrow is your day from nashville up to cincinnati. again, the possibly of ef-2's, 3s and 4s. it will be out there again. you've got to be an alert everybody. i'm sorry for the bad news. erica, charlie, back to you. >> lonnie, good to have you with us. in the next hour, we're going to look at a high tech device that gives forecasters more time to warn people that a tornado is coming. a device that may have already saved lives this week. there is breaking news from afghanistan. two americans have been killed in yet another attack on u.s. troops following last week's burning of islamic holy books at an american base. mandy clark is in kabul. what can you tell us about in latest act? >> well, the american soldiers were shot dead in kandahar province inside their outposts

according to afghan officials. one of the attackers was an afghan soldier, the other a teacher. it's the third time that afghan security forces have turned their guns on americans since the your ran burning indent. the protests may have died down, but it seems targeted attacks on american soldiers is on the rise. >> mandy shall what's being done then about those targeted attacks? is there anything to be done? >> very little can be done now. a big part of the u.s. mission is training up and partnering with the afghan forces so u.s. soldiers share the same bases. they eat together and they go on patrol together. now they not only have to worry about the insurgents threat but also the danger of the enemy within their own ranks. >> mandy clark in kabul. thank you. >> thank you. and just moments ago we learned from national security correspondent david martin that there were, in fact, three gunmen, two of them killed.

the other was captured. we turn now to politics and the disappearance of political moderates on capitol hill. senator snowe surprised everyone by giving up her campaign. nancy cordes has more. >> charlie good morning to you. limb know snowe is the latest to say political paralysis as her reason for retirement. the ranks of centrist have thinned and the ones left are often left powerful. >> people would ask me, do you think things will change? and i wasn't sure that it would change. >> with congress tied in knots over even minor measures. >> why? >> i'm going to take my time. >> that is pernicious nonsense. >> maine's olympia snowe decided to -- >> was it too lonely to be a

moderate in the congress? >> most move to the right or retired. moderate democrat evan bye cited gridlock when he left the senate in 2010. >> i feel her pain. >> connecticut independent senator joe lieberman is retiring at the end of this year. >> people are sort of pulled apart by this process. >> in the house of representatives, 22 of 54 centrist blue dog democrats were defeated in the last election. to some degree the disappearance of the middle is a reflection of the electorate. according to gallop, the percentage of americans who consider themselves moderate has dropped over the past 20 years. former reagan aide, jeff bell, says polarization can actually be helpful to a point. >> it's ugly. it's messy. but i think there are times in history when it's better than the alternative, which is everybody getting along on behalf of something that isn't that good. >> after 33 years in congress,

snowe says she hasn't thought about what she'll do next. >> are you sure you made the right decision? >> i'll never know that. i think it is the right one. but i'll miss it. >> and her republican colleagues will miss her. even if she bucked the party from time to time, snowe was an odds on favorite to win reelection in maine in november. republicans will struggle to hold on to that seat making their goal of retaking the senate that much more difficult. >> nancy, thank you. with us one of the few moderates left on capitol hill, she's a democrat, senator claire mccaskill of missouri. senator, good morning. >> good morning. >> tell me what you think is the reason for this and whether anything can be done about it and whether, if no moderates are in the senate, what it will mean for how this country goes about its business. >> well, if we don't begin to take better care of the moderates in both parties in our

democracy, it's not going to be pretty. if you look through history, charlie, all of the great work we've done in congress has been around a table of compromise when it comes to the most difficult problems. the problem now is the two ends are getting all the amplification. the political system loves the extremes. it doesn't so much show a lot love for the moderates. it's really hard right now. >> do you believe this is happening in both parties, not just the republican party? >> i do believe it's happening in both parties. but particularly in the republican party because some of our republican moderate colleagues have been taken out by primaries from their right flank. so i think there seems to be more worry on behalf of the republican members that they have to lie cue to an extreme agenda or get taken out. >> what's interesting is that elections are won in the center. elections are won in the center. >> that's true. in the house you have to

remember, they're busy trying to draw those districts. so that they are safe. which means they're trying to draw them so they're bright blue or bright red. i think the best hope is to keep moderation on the hill is in fact in the senate where you have states like mine. i mean, you couldn't call my state a blue state under any stretch of the imagination. but there's a lot of independent voters that want me to be sovereignly independent. they don't want me to say yes, sir to harry reid. >> what some are saying is we need a third party, a more independent party. >> you know, that might happen down the line. for now, i'm hoping that the business community in this country and independent voters in this country tune in earlier to the process and begin to show some support for the people who are willing to say no to their party and yes to the american people. >> senator, i want to ask you about afghanistan especially as a member of the armed services division. two more soldiers killed. there's some talk of speeding up the drawdown of troops in

afghanistan. do you support that? >> i think we need to recalibrate many parts of our mission in afghanistan. i have an amendment right now to pull the reconstruction funds out of afghanistan that the military has asked for and put them in the highway trust fund in our country. they're blowing up the highways we build. we're having to pay off the bad guys to get enough security to build the projects that the military is building in afghanistan. it's hard enough for us to execute the mission of training their military and police. it's time for us to pull hundreds of millions dollars for highways and electrical grids out of afghanistan and put it right into the infrastructure in the united states. >> what would you have the president do? >> i would have the president say to the military, we're going to get out of the road building business and the electrical grid building business and the power generating business and we're going to just focus on trying to help them establish rule of law. now, clearly, what's going on now is unacceptable and i feel

for our soldiers over there. they are really unbelievably good at their jobs. to have this threat is unconscionabunko unconscionable that the people they're training could turn their weapons on them. thank you, senator from missouri. benjamin netanyahu comes to washington to meet with president obama. it is a delicate moment in the u.s./israel relationship to say the least. the two leaders try to sort out what to do about iran's nuclear facilities. chief white house correspondent norah o'donnell is with us. norah good morning. >> the obama administration says there's still time and space to pursue diplomacy is iran. that may not be enough for the israelis. netanyahu plans to press president obama to stay publicly and clearly that the u.s. red line is to prevent iran from gaining nuclear capability and not just a nuclear weapon. >> the last time president obama

and israeli prime minister netanyahu met, it did not go well. and already the tension is building over whether the u.s. has done enough to prevent iran from developing a nuclear weapon. the israelis fear they would be a nuclear iran's first target. on capitol hill, secretary of defense leon panetta tried to reassure skeptics. >> we are committed not just to contain but to prevent iran from getting a nuclear weapon. >> but secretary of state hillary clinton faced a tough audience. some staunch supporters of israel questioned the administration's resolve. >> what are the red lines that the iranians cannot cross? >> i think it's probably smarter for us to be pressing on the sanctions and the negotiations. >> but netanyahu does not believe the sanctions have done enough and will press the president to do more. when asked what that could

entail, white house press secretary jay carney said mr. obama will be specific and direct when the two meet next week. >> israel attacks iran and iran retaliates, will we defend israel. >> that's a couple of ifs down the road. what i can say is we have an unshakable commitment to israel's security. >> on capitol hill, a group of senators said congress would support military action it comes to that. >> the iranian regime will not be allowed to have nuclear capable. >> israel is concerned that iran is about to enter a zone of immunity where it would be difficult to take out their nuclear weapons program. the pentagon, of course, has a deep bunker busting bond that could reach this program that iran has that's buried in these mountains. that's one of the concerns and this is going to be a very tense meeting between the two leaders. erica? >> charlie, time to show you at home some of the headlines from

kansas, illinois and tennessee suffered some of the worst damage at least 20 tornadoes were reported and at least 12 people were killed. another dangerous storm system is forecast to hit the same area tomorrow. today is actually the traditional start of the tornado season. but we've already had more than 120 tornadoes in 2012. more than double the usual number. mark strassmann looks at a brand new early warning system that makes forecasting a lot more accurate. >> parts of branson, missouri's downtown never had a chance. not against an ef-2 tornado. its winds churned 135 miles per hour and stretched for 22 miles. but people here survived. in part because of this radar imagery of that same torpedo. notice the detail. this cluster shows debris swirling in the air as the twister struck this city of 10,000 people. these images were captured by new dual polarization radar technology.

the most significant upgrade to america's weather radar system since doppler in the early 1990s. >> we knew we had to do a better job. >> dr. jack hey hays -- looking to improve the severe weather forecasting and alerts. this initiative will replace its one dimensional radar with new dual polarization technology which sends out vertical and who sdplonl pulses. it pinpoints tornado winds and makes forecasters more confident to give direct accurate warnings about twisters. >> with dual polarization if that's debris and if that's a tornado. we'll get a view that will allow us to detect the difference between heavy rainfall that occurs all the time this rain storms and debris that a tornado can kick up. >> the need for improved storm warning was clear in 2011. a historic year for tornadoes from north carolina to tuscaloosa, alabama and joplin,

missouri. 550 people were killed. the most since 1936. and almost as many as the previous ten years combined. $10 wl billion in damages. the most ever. >> the national weather service needed more weapons, installing this system will cost $50 million. 44 already in place nationwide. 160 will be by year's end. the new system paid off early wednesday morning. forecasters at the station in springfield, missouri warned a tornado was headed for branson a the 1:23 a.m. the twister touched down. with tornadoes 20 minutes' warning is typically considered a victory. people in branson had 35 minutes warning. the alert interrupted broadcasting on radio and television stations and the new twist had 2012, all of america's major cell phone service companies agreed to send out text message alerts like this to

cell phones of everyone within a storm zone. >> severe weather can and will threaten you at some point in your life. knowing in advance that it is a threat, knowing in advance what to do twh that threat comes allows you to act. >> the goal is to save lives in a moment of mayhem when every second matters. ask people in branson, missouri. >> mark strassmann is with us now. very good to have you at the table. >> nice to be here. >> you brought the device. you can show us and tell us once more. why is early warning so important, especially when tornadoes come at night? >> we track hurricanes for days, typically across the atlantic. with tornados being you have minutes. every second really does count. what the national weather service folks are saying is this is also a really good investment as an umbrella policy for severe weather. that is, you get one of these weather radios, you get the information from the national weather service about 35 bucks at the big box stores or online.

this, it will tell you no matter what time of day it is. the storms frequently come in after midnight when people are sleeping. you don't have your cell phone with you. this is considered a real investment just in case. especially if you live in a tornado zone. >> people with warning have more credibility to warn -- the warning they'd like to make. >> they can give confident warnings to folks a tornado is coming your way as opposed to saying there's a storm on the ground that might cause a tornado which people then ignore. this is like it's coming, you better move and people move. >> and pay attention. >> p

as we looked around the web this morning, we found a few reasons to make a long story short. starting with a post that looks at psychological study of people who work on wall street. one out of every ten employees in the financial industry is a psychopath, the author claims. >> how about that? >> sports.com has a historic moment for american soccer. an exhibition match, the u.s. men's soccer team beat italy yesterday. one-nil in genoa, italy. it's the first time the u.s. has beaten italy. a soccer powerhouse. italy has won four cups. ktbt reports on a 55-year-old grandmother who wants to be a dallas cowboys cheerleader. sharon simmons says that on stage she blends with the other women in their 20s. the tryouts are in may. we're pulling for you, sharon. >> absolutely. britain's daily mail has the

story of a long lost novel by charlotte bonte, the author of jane eyre. it's being published. she wrote it in 1842 for a married monday she loved. it was found in a belgian museum. meryl streep is making headlines again. the oscar winner's foundation has donated $10,000 to viola davis's school in viola's name. that's a long story short. just when you think we can't love her any more, she does something else. >> they're both amazing, right? >> absolutely right. in london this morning, the ladies of the royal family getting together for a very high-profile event. >> of course, it was one big photo-op. charlie d'agata is outside buckingham palace. >> good morning, gayle. it's likely that the queen and katherine get together to do lunch or gather for a spot of tea on a regular basis.

there normally aren't this many cameras involved. today marked a turning point in their professional relationship. it's short of a royal flush. but close to three of a kind. the queen and a pair of future queens shall prince charles' wife camilla and katherine, the duchess of cam bridge on a rare joint appearance today. it's the first time katherine accompanied the queen at an official engagement without her husband william by her side. the prince is busy at his day job. he's currently on a tour of duty as a search and rescue pilot in the falk land islands off the coast of argentina. katherine has been flying solo since he left one month ago comfortably stepping into the spotlight to continue her royal duties. but the queen rarely shares the stage, which makes today's appearance something special. it's seen as a royal seal of approval that the queen is comfortable with katherine taking on a bigger role in representing the brand. her majesty was normally only

seen with princess diana at big events. katherine joined the queen and camilla at the luxury department store where the royal family, it's their corner shop. it's part of the queen's ongoing jubilee celebrations marking 60 years on the throne. they will send tea and biscuits to british troops in afghanistan who can't join in the sell brags back home. the brief visit is also seen as something of a small scale warmup for katherine who will join the queen and her husband prince philip a much larger affair next week. now, today was just another day at the office for the queen. royal adviser told us the reason we don't normally see the royals gather together at once, in his words, they split up in order to spread the love. >> listen, i'm thinking, charlie, that the queen likes her grand daughter-in-law very

much. what does she call the queen, do you know? >> that's a very good question. i met katherine revently about six weeks ago. i should have asked her. i know for us her majesty and mom after that. i can't imagine she adheres to the same rules. >> i was wondering about that. thank you, charlie. we'll be right back. stay with us. this is "cbs this morning." this portion of "cbs this morning" sponsored by starbucks. introduce starbucks blond roast. the lighter roast perfected. the lighter, veas mellower side of our roast. introducing delicious new starbucks blonde roast. the lighter roast perfected. ♪ but one is so clever that your skin looks better even after you take it off. neutrogena® healthy skin liquid makeup. 98% saw improved skin. does your makeup do that? neutrogena® cosmetics.

in a pill bottle. >> what you find on your fork is more powerful than at the bottom of a prescription bottle. the most powerful drug on the planet regulates thousands of genes, regulates hormones, reduces inflammation, helps prevent aging and it's something that's free almost and has no side effects and works for everybody and it's food. the key to this is insulin? >> that's right. if you make too much insulin. americans eat 150 pounds of sugar, 50 pounds much white flour, 53 gallons of soda. that makes your blood sugar go high and then low and then cycles of insulin and blood sugar swings that drives the belly fat which is the fat that causes these diseases. give us a great diet. i was just going to say that. he's got a six-week menu plan for breakfast, lunch dinner. >> we saw her on the view talking about how she's doing on jackie craig or something. >> charlie. it's jenny craig. >> that's the men's version. jackie craig.
